Signature Pumpkin Pie

My youngest son and I made this pie together. Because I'm low on time and energy, I used a refrigerated pie crust. We mixed the pie filling in my Kitchen Aid mixer, it was less than five minutes to make it. We followed the recipe exact. This pie was done baking at five minutes before the fourty minutes was up. Gorgeous pie, VERY VERY good. This recipe's a keeper. NOTE: For those of you who want a pie that tastes like pumpkin that's lightly sweetened, this one is for you.

This recipe is excellent as is. Here are some helpful tips: 1) cover the edges of the pie crust with foil and pre-bake it in the oven until it's half way cooked so that the crust does not get soggy and cooks through all the way. 2) heat the pumpkin on the stove with the spices. This gets rid of the canned taste, lets some of the excess water evaporate and gives the spices a richer taste. 3) let the cooked pumpkin rest for a few minutes and then incorporate the condensed milk into the warm pumpkin. Allow that to cool and then add in the beaten eggs. This will give the pie a creamy consistency. 4) add the filling into the pie crust and leave the foil in place over the edges of the pie. Bake at 350. About halfway through baking, remove the foil to brown the edges. Bake for 30-35 mins total and then turn off the oven to let the pie cool in the oven. This will prevent the filling from cracking.

This has been my "go-to" recipe for years, it's never failed me. To keep the pies from cracking while baking, I always put a pan of water on the bottom rack

Tried this pie at a pre-Thanksgiving "pie testing" at work. It's really good! I think the McCormick Pie Spice must be the perfect blend of spices (which makes it easy for a person like me who always seems to be missing at least one of the spices when it comes pie making time).

We tried it with Graham Cracker crust. The condensed milk makes it very hearty and the spice gave it a nice kick!

Mmmm...this is very good pumpkin pie. I used a pre-made graham cracker crust, and it really took 5 minutes to make. Easy as pie. :) Next time I'll use a homemade crust. My favorite is Chef John's Easy Homemade Pie Crust.

Yum yum yum! Easy to prepare and tasty to eat. Loved the whipped cream too! Big hit!

This was awesome! I heeded Candi's tip of placing a pan of water on the lower rack.

Great pie recipe. This was my first time making pumpkin pie so this will be my go to recipe. Next time I would like to try making the crust from scratch!

You just can't get any easier than 5 simple ingredients. This pie is too good and too easy for it to just be made at Thanksgiving. It's an any night dessert!

I've made this recipe a few times now and I made a couple changes and this is definitely a winner. I add an additional 3/4 tsp of McCormick's cinnamon, an extra 1/4 tsp. of McCormick's pumpin pie spice, instead of two eggs, I add one egg and 3 egg yolks. I also add 1/4 cup of white sugar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar and a 1/2 tsp. of fine salt. I put it all in a sauce pan except the sweetened condensed milk and eggs and heat it through while whisking (this makes a huge difference!) it. Let it cool then take your mixer and mix in your sweetened condensed milk and then your eggs. I used a premade Pillsbury Deep Dish Pie Shell that I don't prebake. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes then turn my oven down to 350 for an additional 35 minutes and cover the crust with foil 10 minutes after turning the oven down to 350. This pumpkin pie is creamy with a fantastic flavor! I will never by a store bought pie again.

OMG!

Made exactly as written, no need to thaw the frozen pie shell. So easy and SO good it is better than the family recipe I have used for years the whole family agrees! It didn't crack, looked perfect and I always refrigerate for several hours as we like it cold, and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

So easy and so delicious

I am not a baker... but this simple recipe was easy to follow and tastes great. This, with a few "top secret" tweeks is now a part of my thanksgiving menu

I made this pumpkin pie recipe for Thankgiving and everyone asked for the recipe. not too sweet and it was light and fluffy. This will be my go to recipe for pumpkin pie now.

Would increase spices next time. A little bland

I think this recipe was great! My pumpkin pies usually turn out runny, but this is absolutely perfect!

Made this for thanksgiving and everyone loved it! Said it was the best pumpkin pie ever! I made my seasoning instead of the pumpkin spice seasoning. Thanks for a great recipe that I will use for a long time!

I made this but adjusted the spices, to suit my taste, excellent results and easy to make.

We all liked this much better than the original Libby’s recipe. Turned out perfect!

Add twice (x2) the amount of pumpkin spice it calls for. Otherwise a simple and yummy pumpkin pie recipe.

Amazing it was easy tip make and taste better then the store could ever put out!

This was my first time making pumpkin pie and it was delicious!! I did add other spices.

This was so good, quick and easy too!

I never made a pie before and found that this was easy and tasty!

It's really easy

If quick and easy is what you're looking for, this recipe is it. It tastes just fine. Nothing spectacular, but nothing wrong with it either. 5 stars for ease and 3 for flavor and texture.

Fantastic low-cal way to get the taste of pumpkin pie if you skip the crust, like I did. I sprayed a 9-inch pie plate with a butter spray and cooked the pie at 350 for 45 min., until set.

I loved it and I would make it again

This pie NEVER fails year after year!

Easy and delious.

It’s a great recipe for a quick & easy pumpkin pie!

A big hit

This is the best pumpkin pie I have ever eaten.

Made exactly as per the recipe and it was perfect and simple to make!

My daughter loved it for her b-day. She has been begging me for pumpkin pie so I bought everything and made it.. with this recipes help!!

Very simple & tasty recipe. Easy & quickest recipe I’ve seen. Taste is not too different from more complicated recipes, although presentation is not as good. This recipe seems rushed & hot. Whereas others were slower & more thoroughly heated, with an even color & no rips in the pie. If it weren’t for the homemade whipped cream I served along with it, it would just be average. I need a recipe that makes me happy I didn’t buy it from the store instead.

great taste great

This is the only pumpkin pie recipe I use now. It’s my family’s favorite.

I agree with some of the other reviews, this is a bit bland and needs something else. The worst part though was that my frozen crust didn't cook at all. I would precook my crust a bit next time before filling.

I made this pie for Thanksgiving dinner. It was so easy and quick. It was my first time making a pie and it was the talk of the evening. I used the exact recipe. will definitely make it again.

I made changes to the recipe and made it exactly as the recipe was written, however, I did need to extend the 350 deg F baking temperature by 15 minutes for it to cook thoroughly.

I do not like using condensed milk, so instead I recommend replacing condenser milk with regular milk and adding a bit of brown sugar (or cinnamon sugar for more of a zing) another great option is to put in better and if you’re feeling real crafty, try using lemon and orange shavings. Yum!

Very delicious, simple pumpkin pie!

Way too bland. No one liked it. Possibly needs sugar.

I added a touch more pumpkin pie spice to a second batch and it was even more delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great - perfect for holidays. Will do again, but next time i'm thinking to experiment with half sweetened condensed milk and half regular condensed or evaporated milk to reduce the sugar. This pie has 6 tsp sugar just from the sweetened condensed milk (per 1/10 size pie slice). Also could probably use slightly less of the condensed milk as there was a tiny bit of liquid on the top at the end.

Worked like a charm! I'd recommend throwing in a little cinnamon. I am only giving it four stars because I didn't love the texture.

So good

It was sooo good! I would 100% make it again!!

Easy and good.

There is no sugar in this recipe, absolutely needs sugar, preferably brown sugar and double if not triple the pumpkin pie spice, especially is using organic pumpkin as I did.

So simple and delicious! My 5 year old had been begging to make pumpkin pie and this recipe was so simple a child could do it!

Really easy to make and my family loved it

This will be the go to pumpkin pie recipe from now on. My husband loved it. I followed the recipe to a T and changed nothing. No need to. By far the best pumpkin pie I have made.

this is my favorite pumpkin pie recipe, easy and delicious.

Loved it! Delicious

This is an amazing recipe...but i added 8 ounces instead of 15 ounces and i like it better that way. This is my second ime making this and i cant get old of it. We did not have any whip cream so i ate it how it was still perfect!The reson i rated it a 4 is because it is not spaktacular.But so delisioius.

Incredibly easy and delicious. This has become a Thanksgiving tradition. Spices mix together so well! Look forward to making it again this year and watching it be gobbled up in less then an hour!

This recipe was amazing. The whipped cream was great but it didn’t taste like it was vanilla so I recommend admit a little more vanilla

Very delicious, simple pumpkin pie!

This pie had a weird consistency. When I compared it to others, it uses sweetened condensed milk where others use evaporated milk and sugar. This recipe is not my favorite. The taste was good but didn't like the consistency.

I will make this pie again...it was very easy...I would probably use the suggestion of using the separate spices...it needed a little more "spice"

Since the family doesn't like cloves, we omitted them. Pie was your typical pumpkin pie. Taste was good. We would make it again.

So yummy

Really good flavor but very dense. I would bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes instead of 425 degrees.

My purchased crust baked perfectly, a very easy and tasty recipe, but it WAS a little bland, so next time I will add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp salt.

I made this today and it was amazing! I love it! The batter was a little too much so I made two pies. Yum! The spice gave it a nice little kick. I prebaked my frozen pie crust, so it was very good. Thank you!
